The presentation of Belarusian products was organized by the Banwell-based company Belarus Tractors Ltd.

The lineup of Belarus compact tractors displayed in the UK includes nine basic models of tractors powered by 25-63hp engines. According to the British dealers of the Bobruisk plant, local farmers are especially interested in Belarus-320 and Belarus-622 tractors.
